job ?
in 9 to 5
If someone is interviewing with a company,can the potential new company contact the current company + ask if the employee is working there or do they wait until you have accepted the new job.....basically when + what info does the new company obtain?
TIA!!!
Re: job ?
The answer is...it depends
Typically a company won't bother to check references and contact your current company unless/until they want to take the time to do so. So it's usually at the point that they want to make an offer. But I have heard of companies doing it sooner. It is perfectly OK to tell them during an interview that you don't want your current company contacted unless they have an offer.
The new company can obtain different info depending on company policy. As of several years ago, many companies have put policies in place that only HR is allowed to answer reference questions, and can only give dates of service. But other companies can disclose whether someone is an employee in good standing, their current salary, or whatever their policy says (or the person in charge decides. Some don't have policies at all.

In those situations, I've had to fill out an application and is asks if the new company can contact your current company. I always say No. If there is room on the application, I usually put a statement along the lines of "Not until offer is received, accepted, and notice is given to current employer."
I switched jobs about 2 years ago. My new company asked for a copy of a then current paycheck stub to verify I was still there as a way to confirm that, but avoid contacting them. I blanked out numbers--becuase I didn't think it was the new company's business how much I was paying for health insurance, what the 401K match, etc. was. I am sure there are ways they can find out that info, but felt it should not come from me. And did not want to risk getting in trouble with my then current employer for providing that information to a competitor. In the sense that my new company is located in the same geographical area as my former company and look for similiar skill sets of employees, so there is a lot of cross-over between the two companys in terms of employees. The new company didn't say anything about the blanked out numbers.
Thank you Dr. L for the feedback!
